ITEM 9.  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT.
-----------------------------------------------------------

      The Company's Board of Directors currently consists of seven members;
however, the Board has accepted the resignations of two directors (Messrs.
Robert R. Keller and Curtis L. Jackson), which resignations will be effective
immediately prior to the annual meeting. As a result, the Board resolved to
reduce the size of the Board from seven to five members effective immediately
prior to the annual meeting. Four of the remaining directors are independent and
one is a member of management. Both Messrs. Keller and Jackson's terms were to
expire at the 2000 annual meeting. The remaining directors are currently serving
terms expiring in either 2001 or 2002.  Under the Company governing documents,
directors are to serve three year terms.  In addition, under Ohio law, no
reduction in the size of the Board shall cause a reduction in a director's term.
Consequently, there is not a director running for election at this
year's annual meeting.

      The following table sets forth certain information regarding the current
directors.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of

ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors
and greater than 10% stockholders are required by regulation to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

      Based solely on its review of the copies of the reports it has received
and written representations provided to the Company from the individuals
required to file the reports, the Company believes that each of the Company's

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

      The Bank and the Company entered into employment agreements with Ms.
Deisch. The employment agreements provide for a three-year term for Ms. Deisch.
The Bank employment agreement provides that, commencing on the first anniversary
date and continuing each anniversary date thereafter, the Board of Directors of
the Bank may extend the agreement for an additional year so that the remaining
term shall be three years, unless written notice of non-renewal is given by the
Board of Directors of the Bank after conducting a performance evaluation of Ms.
Deisch. The term of the Company employment agreement may be extended on a daily
basis unless written notice of non-renewal is given by the Board

                                      4

<PAGE> 5



of Directors of the Company. The agreements provide that Ms. Deisch's base
salary will be reviewed annually. The current base salary for Ms. Deisch is
$84,250. In addition to the base salary, the agreements provide for, among other
things, participation in stock benefit plans and other fringe benefits
applicable to executive personnel.

      The agreements provide for termination by the Bank or the Company for
cause as defined in the agreements, at any time. In the event the Bank or the
Company chooses to terminate Ms. Deisch's employment for reasons other than for
cause, or in the event Ms. Deisch resigns from the Bank and the Company after
specified circumstances that would constitute constructive termination, Ms.
Deisch or, in the event of her death, her beneficiary, would be entitled to
receive an amount equal to the remaining base salary payments due to Ms. Deisch
and the contributions that would have been made on her behalf to any employee
benefit plans of the Bank or the Company during the remaining term of the
agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of the Bank's agreement, the
payment shall not, in the aggregate, exceed three times the average of Ms.
Deisch's five preceding taxable years' annual compensation. The Bank and the
Company would also continue and pay for her health and disability coverage for
the remaining term of the agreement.

      Under the agreements, if voluntary (after specified circumstances that
would constitute constructive termination) or involuntary termination follows a
change in control of the Bank or the Company (as defined in the employment
agreement), Ms. Deisch or, in the event of her death, her beneficiary, would be
entitled to a severance payment equal to the greater of: (i) the payments due
for the remaining term of the agreement; or (ii) three times the average of the
five preceding taxable years' annual compensation. The Bank and the Company
would also continue her life, health, and disability coverage for thirty-six
months. Notwithstanding that both agreements provide for a severance payment in
the event of a change in control, Ms. Deisch would only be entitled to receive a
severance payment under one agreement.

      Payments under the agreements in the event of a change in control may
constitute some portion of an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code resulting in the imposition of an excise tax on the
recipient and denial of the deduction for such excess amounts to the Company and
the Bank. Under certain circumstances, severance payments to Ms. Deisch under
the agreements may be subject to prior approval by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.

      Payments under the Bank's agreement will be guaranteed by the Company in
the event that payments or benefits are not paid by the Bank. Payment under the
Company's agreement would be made by the Company. All reasonable costs and legal
fees paid or incurred by Ms. Deisch pursuant to any dispute or question of
interpretation relating to the agreements shall be paid by the Bank or Company,
respectively, if Ms. Deisch is successful on the merits pursuant to a legal
judgment, arbitration or settlement. The employment agreements also provide that
the Bank and Company shall indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent
allowable under Ohio law.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
--------------------------------------------------------

   It is the policy of the Bank to make loans to executive officers and
directors on their principal residences. The Bank's policy provides that all
loans made by the Bank, including lines of credit, to its directors be made in
the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons and may not involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features; provided, however the Bank
may offer loans to executive officers on terms not available to the public, but
available to other full-time employees, in accordance with recently modified
federal regulations. All such loans, however, did not involve more than the
normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Any loan
made to an executive officer or director must be approved by the Board of
Directors prior to its being committed. As of December 31, 1999, seven of the
Bank's executive officers or directors had a total of fifteen loans outstanding
totaling approximately $1.0 million in the aggregate.
